PostPosted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 12:34 am    Post subject: [S]Gentoo under VMware Workstation 6,problems with the Tools Reply with quote

I'm using Windows Vista as host and Gentoo Linux 2007.0 as guest on VMware Workstation version 6. I successfully installed the 2007.0 version some days ago using the minimal CD. Everything went fine and I didn't have any problems so far...

I used the following guide along with the handbook:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_on_VMware_in_Windows_NT/2K/XP

The problem I'm having is with VMware Tools. I read the section about it on the above wiki page, I've searched a lot on Google, this forums and VMware forums but I haven't managed to successfully install VMware Tools without any issues.

I mean, I already installed Xorg 7.2 and the VMware Tools. The mouse is working just fine and I can move it from and to the VMware guest just fine. However, when executing vmware-tools-config.pl (or something like this) I get an error, something about the kernel or whatever. As far as I understood, I only don't have shared folders and some module about networking working, everything else is supposedly working.

In my searchings, I found lots of patches and stuff, but none worked so far with VMware Tools from Workstation 6.

If anyone has any ideas, or if anyone managed to do what I'm doing please let me know what you did...

Can you post the output of the vmware-tools-config.pl script? Also the output of 'uname -a'.

Well, there's a problem with that, I would already have done that if knew how...

I don't know how can I copy/paste from the guest to the host with shared folders not working... I tried to startx (os the mouse works and I can move over/out from the guest to the host) but I have no way to copy/paste output from xterm. Any ideias?

One way would be to take a screenshot but better yet ssh in from windows and you'll be able to copy and past from that terminal session.

I'm using NAT as the network and I wasn't able to connect to the SSH server on Gentoo, I actually don't know exactly what to do. I started the /etc/init.d/sshd service, but then what? Which is the IP to connect to and the port?

Anyway, here's an image for the whole output:

If your not familiar with using a ssh client on windows, I'd suggest using PuTTY - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

Download putty.exe from the download page and run it. Type in the host name and make sure SSH is selected via the radio button and click open. You'll need to login as a user to your Gentoo box as you are not able to login as root via SSH. If you want to change SSH so you can login as root, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and uncomment out 'PermitRootLogin yes', then restart 'sshd'

Now as to your error. You are using an old version of the vmware-any-any-update. The current version at this time is 113.

The latest version can always be found here: http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/
Here is a direct link: http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz

I've not used the vmware-any-any-update113 as I'm not running X Windows at the current moment. My Gentoo VM is a server (Apache/PHP/MySQL) and has no need for an X Windows environment. I was able to successfully install the vmware tools without using the vmware-any-any-update package on the 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 Kernel.

I would suggest deleting /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib and get a fresh copy. Then just try running /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl directly and see what happens.

Let me know how it goes,

- David

I downloaded the new any-any updated you posted, untared the latest vmware tools after clicking on "VM » Install VMware Tools" inside VMware Workstation, but the same thing happened...

And using SSH to execute my commands, this is what I go running the runme.pl:

Try to do the install WITHOUT the vmware-any-any-updated patches. Just untar the latest VMWare tools and kick off the script.

If you followed my recommendation to use the Intel e1000 NIC, then when prompted with:

go ahead and say "Yes".

Everything should compile just fine and work after that.

Alright.. I'll build a Gentoo VM under VMware Workstation 6.0 today/tonight and will see what happens.

I'm pretty sure you'll need the kernel source installed for the vmware-tools to compile.I tend to manually install the kernel rather than use portage for this, but I think emerging gentoo-sources will do it.

I'm not sure I understood what you are saying... What should I do then?

I believe the vmware overlay makes this a lot easier - add that overlay (using layman is the easiest way to do it) and then emerge vmware-workstation-tools in your Gentoo VM. You will still need to run the vmware-tools-config.pl script, but the modules will have already been built with the correct patches for your kernel.

This is what I did:
- I installed layman as per this guide: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Overlays
- Added the overlay with "layman --add vmware"
- Emerged vmware-workstation-tools

But vmware-workstation-tools was not emerged correctly, here's the log:

I suggest you email vmware@gentoo.org with this - the Gentoo VMWare developers maintain this overlay, but because this package is not in Portage you can't file a bug and should contact them directly.

I have been in contact with someone responsible for the vmware overlay and just so you people know, you should use the vmware overlay and install the open-vm-tools ebuild and not the vmware-workstation-tools.
